UAD vs Waves fórumra írta ezt a commentet egy producer barátom.
Ebből számomra a lényegi kérdés az, hogy az UAD állítása - miszerint az eredeti hardver áramköreinek viselkedését programozzák le - szerintetek mennyire lehet igaz?
Egyáltalán milyen mélységig lehetséges emulálni egy áramkör viselkedését, a hangra gyakorolt hatását illetően: gondolok itt az elektronikai alkatrészek melegedésére, ennek függvényében elektromos vezető tulajdonságuk megváltozására stb stb.
Valójában erről a programozási tudásról, és fejlesztésről szólna az UAD-on belül egy-egy plugin régi Legacy verziója és az újabb, de lényegében "ugyan azt" nyújtó verziója.
Ti mit gondoltok?

I don't understand why audio "engineers" or "technicians" act and judge so emotional, when in fact, the first paradigm of a so-called "technician" should be unemotional, rational thinking in the first place.
I own plugins from both companies, UAD and Waves, and both sound great.
Are there any differences in terms of sound quality? NO!
Is there a measurable or calculable proof of anyone having a better sound quality? NO!
Why?
Because it doesn't matter how the individual perception is, in the end, it's just another digital audio-software working with the same algorithms every digital software uses.
There are not a lot of options when it comes to manipulating an audio signal digitally.
90% of every software uses a mathematical algorithm called "convolution".

When I read statements from UAD or WAVES enthusiasts such as "Company XY emulates device XY by recreating the original circuit" I have to cringe a lot.
There is no original "recreation" of circuits in a digital realm.
The only thing you can do is plug in a cable in the input, sending a test signal through the unit, record the output and try to measure/recreate the difference between the in and the output signal.
It is crucial to clear up this load of baloney and la-la-land beliefs when you want to make clear and reasonable decisions.
In general, most of the decisions humans tend to make are based on emotions and that's perfectly fine.
But it becomes a problem when the brain stage is missed out and that's what marketing campaigns encourage you to do.
How else can you explain a company, that sells an outboard DSP in 2018 for 999$ and claims it to be "powerful"?
The truth is it is not.
UAD uses SPARC processors which are tremendously outdated.
The only reason for an outboard DSP in this era of i7 Processors is, that it can be used as a dongle and that's probably the only reason UAD is doing it.
I have bought an UAD-Quad in 2017 and I keep using the plugins because of the Low-Latency mode during recording sessions.
Would I buy an Apollo soundcard or another UAD unit?
Hell no!
RME and Focusrite do their job pretty well, without bothering me and my intelligence with stupid marketing phrases.
